Re: Help Setting Up Three Monitors!

Just for the record, all current nvidia 40 series (gaming) cards are limited to 2x 4K monitors at 240Hz or 4x 4K monitors at 120Hz. Cant find those specs for AMD radeon cards, but I suspect they will be the same. For condor, 120Hz should be plenty with vsync or variable refresh rate, for condor, I e...

Re: MS Sidewinder 2 forcefeedback

You dont need drivers, the stick is plug and play. Do you have a centering force when you plug the stick in (outside of condor) ? Does it work in windows control panel, "game controllers" page? If the stick works, but is just limp, then realize there is a sensor in the grip that detects if you are h...

VPForce Rhino FFB stick first impressions

I have been using a Microsoft sidewinder force feedback stick for almost 20 years now. And for most of that time I had been eagerly anticipating new force feedback sticks that would give me better accuracy and more buttons/hat switches (for combat sims mostly) but nothing materialized. I have a non ...

Re: bug report: Condor doesn't follow mid-flight audio switch

A workaround is using a virtual audio driver. Some gaming headsets provide this (my steelseries does), I select "steelseries sonar" as default audio output and that software re-routes the audio between headset, speakers, or even bluetooth whenever I connect or disconnect a device. As far as condor i...

Re: Setup problem with Thrustmaster 16000 FCS

Sliding those pedals is just a little awkward compared to the glider I've flown It is. But its better than twisting a stick ;). If you are willing to spend money on this, consider a VKB T-rudder or trustmaster TPR. If you'd rather spend time/effort on it, there are many projects on thingiverse. Lik...

Re: Throttle recommendation needed

I think the behaviour of "stick center with hands off" has changed a little over time, Im not sure, but as I recall it works like this; imagine you did not trim your plane, you have your stick forward to fly fast. Then you raise or lower your gear (right hand). The stick can either remain where it i...

Re: Hardware (graphics card) for Dummies Using Condor2

Condor 2 uses DX11, that's a DirectX 9 card, it can't run C2 at all. Directx is a software API. Support comes through drivers, but its not necessary for the hardware to directly support all the features in order for games to run. nVidia kepler doesnt natively fully support DX11 either, it can certa...

Re: Hardware (graphics card) for Dummies Using Condor2

GPU market is a bit tough right now. There isnt a new budget card I can recommend. They are all shit and overpriced. The least worst I can think off is something like a radeon RX 6600, which should be plenty fast for condor up to HD resolution, but its not nearly as fast as it should be for that pri...

Re: Throttle recommendation needed

Stick trim when available? Stick centres? "Stick trim where available" means that in some gliders, you dont use a slider to control the trim but a button. Just like in the actual gliders that have a stick trim rather than a slider trim. In condor, you probably want that disabled, if for no other re...

Re: Thrustmaster TPR Pedals

Cant speak for tjohara, but I'm still more than happy with mine. No software is needed, they are just plug and play in windows 10/11. With one minor caveat, Condor doesnt support an axis for braking, so if you want to use the toe brakes, you will need something like joy2key to send a key press if yo...

Re: Condor 3 landscape images

I think that Condor is a superb simulator which is amazingly and sadly underrated [edit : and overlooked]. The forthcoming release of C3 is a tremendous opportunity to share our enthusiasm and eagerness to a wider audience which does not watch the eSoaring races on Youtube nor read this very forum ...

Re: Please Help - VR stopped working

An issue that gets progressively worse suggests a hardware issue, possibly something overheating. Maybe check or clean your fans?
If that doesnt help, try running some tests, like furmark to rule out a GPU issue, windows' built in memory test to rule out a ram problem.

Re: Condor 3 landscape images

More screenshots isnt going to make anything happen any faster. It doesnt weigh on a decision to buy V2, since V3 is a free upgrade for recent buyers. Hype is rarely a good thing, it tends to lead to disappointment. Id rather be pleasantly surprised than disappointed. Also, if they hadnt said anythi...

Maybe your google drive is full? I just tried with a throw away google account and I could copy it with no problems.
